Shop Antonio Scala - Cirò Bianco - BC Wine Delivery - Vessel Wines

The winery was founded in 1949 by Antonio Scala, and restructured in 2005 by his son Luigi. Francesco, having joined the business in 2008, represents the third generation of winemakers and currently manages the cellar and the 13 hectares of estate vineyards. For Francesco, their winemaking philosophy can be summed up in one word: tradition. Even though the current appellation laws allow the use of up to 20% of other, non-native varieties, the Scala family continues to make the Cirò Rosso Classico Superiore and Riserva with 100% Gaglioppo, the Cirò Rosato with 100% Gaglioppo, and the Cirò Bianco with 100% Greco Bianco. The red wines are still fermented and aged in the same concrete tanks used since the 1950s. The rolling hills, clay soils, and the particular microclimate of Cirò between the Ionian Sea and the Apennines make this region

The rolling hills, clay soils, and the particular microclimate of Cirò between the Ionian Sea and the Apennines make this region unique. Summers are long, hot, and dry, with considerable temperature shifts, with grapes ripening in August. The low humidity makes organic farming relatively simple. The main challenges are the difficulty in finding staff and the threat of wild boars. The wines produced from this terroir are mineral-driven, savoury, and well-structured. As Francesco explains, “Without a doubt, the passion for wine and the love of the terroir are the foundation of this work.”

Scala Ciro White – Everson Royce Wine

Liberty Wine Merchants - Vancouver's Destination For Great Wines

Mineral-driven, fun and flirty white table wine. Lots of fruit and a touch of florality, but mostly asking you not to think too hard about wine notes.

Scala Cirò Greco Bianco

Calabrian Gaglioppo brings about notes of smoke, blueberry, plum, cherry and herbs. Ripe tannins, full flavors, yet approachable. Farmed organically
